Hey Guys, great review again as always 👍 But what i'd like to mention is, that the "Special"-Models of Harley are not the "real" Touring-Models, they are more a kind of "fashion" (due to Bagger-style). The rear suspension is so approx 1" shorter, the seat is not that plush like on the "Standard"-models. They are more designed to fit the fashionable trend, not to offer the maximum in comfort. Not the best choice for long trips, if you've got a crushed backbone. But it is a great bike anyway

I agree with another comment. One must remember the Harley stats are based on a US gallon which is smaller than imperial. If you get 40 mpg in US you get 50 mpg in Canada and England. I easily get 50 mpg in Canada on the imperial gallon on my new road king. Tank holds 6 US gallons. I got a few more miles per gallon on my 2018 harley heritage as it is 100 lbs lighter.

I suspect the short rake is because the screen etc is mounted to the forks, not the frame. All that weight would make the steering heavy, so they've made it more "twitchy" to keep the steering lighter. Also the bike would be almost be chopper length if not.

I traded my 2018 Sport Glide for a Street Glide Special September 01 2020. When I was thinking about moving to a tourer the Heritage Classic was not something I would have considered as it is not a full touring chassis. The comments on stability of the Street Glide seem a little odd to me, mine feels planted and very sure footed at all speeds. At faster speeds on the highway it feels more planted and relaxing to ride than the Sport Glide (Softail Chassis) did. I went for the limited blue/black combo colour which retails at just over £24,000. It's a beautiful well balanced bike and I couldn't be happier, this is a keeper. In October my friend and I did the NC500, he was on a CVO Ultra, what an experience and the weather was great :) The only negative on the Street Glide Special is the use of shorter slammed shocks on the rear which make it not so comfortable on a rough road. You can adjust the suspension firmness but this does not alleviate the issue. A common upgrade is to go to one inch taller shocks to provide more suspension travel on the rear.

I own one having traded my 18 month old Sport Glide for it. I don’t normally comment on reviews but I was surprised by your quoted fuel mileage number of 39mpg. The demo you rode appeared to have a stage 1 kit (including non standard exhausts?!) which does significantly worsen fuel economy as I found on my previous Sport Glide. I kept my 114 engine standard and fuel economy is much better than 39mpg, even with spirited riding and high speed motorway runs. Also you mentioned the Heritage Softail as having a reputation as one of the best handling Harleys?!. Not in Europe!!. In my HOG chapter there are about 100 motorcycles, and not one Heritage. In fact I have never seen one for sale in a Harley dealer showroom here, although I am sure you can order it. You clearly enjoy yours, so happy riding.

Another great one. This along with the Road Glide is up there for me. From the stability point of view, do you think it may be down to the fact it’s a slightly different ride from the Herritage which you are use to.

Greetings from Winnemucca Nevada U.S.A. I average 35k miles on a bike in a normal year. So far this year just 21k miles, friggin Covid-19.That is NOT the Harley for serious miles all the time. Start with the Electra Glide Ultra Classic, i own a 2018 with the 107 in Fortune Silver color- it looks gold though with just over 92k miles on it. And for your height, [I,m 6' and use the 10.5inch] install the touring/ wide windshield 11.5 inch Memphis Shades light tint windshield. It will still be chin height so you always look over it like you should. Harley and Klockwerks also make a similar windscreen, I've bought and tried them but for wind/rain deflection over the helmet and especially around my shoulders and my passengers Memphis Shades is the won WE find works best.

Actually I find the big Harley touring bikes have great sidestands. They lock into position when placed properly. The bike can move an inch either way in lock position so first time buyers might get nervous in the first week. The Harley heritage like yours is hidden beneath the footboard on extension and one can under estimate that it is locked in. I dropped my Harley heritage because of this and I think you have too.

Stability issues are not caused by rake and trail its the large diameter front tire. They were still fitting a 16in wheel the bike would be rock solid.

I rode one many miles when first launched a few years ago and it was undoubtably better than anything in the old school camp in evolution terms in suspension and breaking, performance and smoothness imho. That is with the exception of the heritage softail classic which had more character and better looks and a better riding position. The street glide goes really well in the midrange but runs out of puff surprisingly early ...way too early, despite being quick off the mark and imho was too heavy to make the most of the improved suspension and braking. Riding position is not great for distances and I would not advise this for anyone with lower back pain...not enough weight on your feet to offset and balance weight through your back. Sidestand was a joke. I almost lost the bike in town when parking up. I agree with you on stability. Not great at slow speed in traffic...a bit nervy. Panniers too small for serious touring and screen too short. Good fuel range. I found the low speed fuelling to be flawed...have they improved the latest ones? It was too snatchy and not progressive enough as if they'd made that torquey lump too responsive to quarter throttle...a bit too on-off a little like the KTMs were a few years back...not enough development of the fuel mapping. High speed stability was good....better than at low speed. My biggest issue is none of the above. It is that I would not swap the character and engine note of the heritage softail air cooled motor or any of the older models for any of these new M8 motors and honestly? The heritage soft tail classic does handle a lot better also feeling lighter than it is . I even prefer the lovely loud blat of my 1200 gsa flat twin boxer on full chat to the M8 water cooled lump. The gsa outstrips the streetglide for comfort, handling, performance, fuelling, gadgets and touring ability too. It goes better, stops better, handles better and is far more practical. I don't really see the point of the streetglide except as a styling exercise and 2nd bike toy for the wealthy. Great review again Mr Darcy Snr and may I say great beard too!?

You seem a bit big on this bike. I know this is for Harley, but, I was going to buy a Street, and got a Honda Goldwing. Point, the Honda seems to be made for taller people. 6 ft. Or taller. At 5’10” the Honda is too big for me. I wonder if you look at the Gold wing?

I have owned a Harley for 7 years, I do not know what the issue you are bringing up is with the side stand. I kick it down, drop the bike on it and it is fine.

@WhiskyJackR

3 жыл бұрын

The side stand must be all the way forward to lock into the recess when you lean the bike down onto it. I know what the reviewer is getting at, it does not instil confidence and I always give it an extra kick to make sure it's fully deployed in the forward locking position before I lower the bike.

@MrDarcy-OlMan

@@WhiskyJackR The thing is that the bike can roll a few inches once it’s on the stand, thus giving the impression that it will fall over

Sorry to hear that - get saving!

Don't agree on the stability. Get both the touring and softail chassis of the ground, and the front wheel will self center on the tourers, and fall left or right on the softails. The touring bikes are more stable than the softails. The steeper rake and shorter wheelbase make for a smaller turning circle on the tourers. Add to that the better lean angles (even on the specials) than most softails, and better luggage capacity, and tourers are far more versatile. Tourers are heavier though, but also have longer pipes, meaning less reversion, meaning more low end torque.

Great bike, but I'd take a Roadmaster Limited any day. Way more comfortable bike. Better suspension, better seat, rides down the road smoother, cuts thru the wind like there's no wind at all, and tracks straight and true. Take your hands off the bars of an Indian, and the bike goes straight down the road. Take your hands off the bars of a Harley, and it (usually) goes off to the left.

Your range calculation is WAY off. I know, I own one and ride it often. 200+ on a tank is easily achieved. Otherwise an interesting and informative video.

Horses for courses, have ridden heritage classic & though thought good bike, not for me. Glide & Rk's, etc much more comfortable for me, with decent seat fitted. Top selling proper hd tourer's, the glide range.☆☆☆☆☆

So a touring bike that is less stable that you would expect and the range of a battery powered bike. Can't cross the American desert on that. In my opinion it is a fail then. Goldwing it is! Still an awesome looking piece of machinery.

I can assure you as I have crossed the USA multiple times two up pulling a caravan with my Ultra. They are very capable in all environments. I have 115k miles on mine and still will not hesitate to do it again. Gold wings are just not my style smooth and powerful like the BMWs but too modern looking.

Love the color but I disagree with you about how what you said about how nimble the bike is. I have a 17 SG and if you are having difficulty doing tight turns, you're not riding the bike to it's full potential. I have taken training classes from motor officer instructors and I can turn my bike on a dime. Don't be afraid to scrape the floorboards. I do that all the time and I turn on a dime. Take a class from police officers. Don't know if you have those in the UK. Here in the USA, we have a guy named Jerry Paladino who has a course and he can do amazing things on a big bike. Check it out. Ride Like a Pro. He has a KZread channel
